Promotion officials confirmed the bantamweight contest following an
initial report from
Newsday. UFC Fight Night takes place at the Mandalay Bay Events
Center and is headlined by a 135-pound tilt between Thomas
Almeida and Cody
Garbrandt.

Sterling is unbeaten in 12 professional outings, including four in
the UFC. He briefly tested free agency following a second-round
submission of Johnny
Eduardo this past December but ultimately decided to re-sign
with the Las Vegas-based promotion. The Serra-Longo Fight Team
member also owns triumphs over Takeya
Mizugaki, Hugo Viana
and Cody
Gibson in the Octagon.

Caraway, meanwhile, has won three of his last four UFC appearances.
Most recently, he captured a unanimous decision triumph against
Eddie
Wineland at UFC on Fox 16 this past July. The 31-year-old
Washington native is 5-2 in the UFC overall.
